B-Sens alumni report

The Binghamton Senators are in the midst of a successful season. So are some of the men who played for the B-Sens in the past.

Here are some of the best performers in the National Hockey League and elsewhere who used to wear the B-Sens sweater:

Forward Jakob Silfverberg, who is currently on the Anaheim Ducks after being traded to them for Bobby Ryan this offseason, has seven points (4 goals, 3 assists) in 11 games. Unfortunately, he is still recovering from a broken hand he suffered in October. Silfverberg is expected back soon after Christmas.

Mika Zibanejad is having one of the best seasons of anybody on the Ottawa Senators. Zibanejad has 11 points (8,3) in 20 game thus far, showing the promise that made him a first round pick in 2011.

Defenseman Patrick Wiercioch has been solid on Ottawa’s blue line, notching nine assists and a 0 rating in 19 games. Wiercioch is playing an average of 17:21 per game.

Goaltender Robin Lehner has started 10 games for the Senators in 2013 and although he has a 4-5-2 record, Lehner has a 2.44 goals against average and a .933 save percentage.

Former B-Sens star Bobby Butler is now on the San Antonio Rampage of the AHL, the Florida Panthers’ farm team. Butler has 14 points (6,8) in 20 games.

Hugh Jessiman, who played 68 games in Binghamton last season, joined Zagreb Medvescak of Russia’s Kontinental Hockey League. Jessiman has five goals in 23 games.
